editAt the foot of a picturesque hill lives a gardener with his wife. They have their own garden shop. Their life is disrupted by a new owner of a nearby castle. He wants to transform the landscape according to his ideas. When gardening gets in the way of his plans, a series of bizarre events are set in motion. The new owner first builds a fence with razor wire and closes off the driveway. He gradually increases the intensity of his actions to achieve his goals.
